The Ford Capri Laser Page

Great design effort, very talented!

Would be an interesting competition for everyone to show their ideas.

No never did the stunts, never had the skills, but did get the back end out a few times!
Did play the theme tune and minder as well when I first got mine.

Closest I got to being Doyle was doing a rallying experience in a yellow mk2 escort!

Have you tried CCI?

They used to sell them on an exchange basis, mind you it was a long time ago when I got mine!
The quality was good as well.

If Ford kept the original side window on Colt/GBX, I think it would have evolved into this side window on the mk2/3!

i think there is a mix of both front seats, the bases are later in shape, and they have piping on the edges.

I like this mk2 auto although it will need a bit of work, looks like an early Ghia with one colour interior and black centred wheels https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1976-Ford-Capri-3-0-Ghia-Auto/264223027639?hash=item3d84eb71b7:g:KKUAAOSwDEBcLV4S:rk:3:pf:0 This is a later Ghia https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/...

If you can picture a slightly longer boot / rear overhang, giving a more fastback rear rake, that would be ideal!
Think the rear profile shape of the DB10 in Spectre rather than the Scirocco shape that this is similar to...

Great scrapbook

Found this on carandclassic, although started life as a 3.0ghia, now an S replica with decent 2.8i interior (using 5 speed front seats)!

I’ve copied the link here purely because it looks in good condition;

Great models, would love the mk2 but there’d be a long queue!
I wish I could spend a day looking at all their history archive, your book gave a great insight.

Hi Steve I was going to mention this Capri in the RS2800 thread but the posts got too long! I thought the badging was going to be gold as well, but with the burgundy extras inside then I guess the red stripe would have tied it all in... Perhaps change the white stripe and lettering to gold, as the w...

This looks like a good buy and I remember when it was on Top Gear briefly because the owner cosseted it! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Capri-2-8i-Special-27000-genuine-dry-miles-2-owners-Immaculate/132842018948?hash=item1eee005884:g:SAoAAOSw21Rb3E3N:rk:1:pf:1 The listing has ended now, sold for £...

...or you could save a little bit and get this instead

These 2.8s are nice, first this black ‘83 5 speeder for £27k https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/ford/capri/ford-capri-2-8-injection--early-5-speed--concours-restoration-the-best/9440305 Then this grey Special...nice as it is but just shy of £35k https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds...

Stopped watching Eastenders a few years ago now looks like I’ll have to start again

If I recall Phil broke Alfie’s first 2.8 for spares...what will the fate of this 280 be....

I remember back in the 90s a character had a mk1 facelift XL in green!

This was the 2.8 I saw on eBay for £7895, that sold within a day

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1981-Two-Ton ... :rk:3:pf:0

Both great buys....maybe a few more might pop up this year!

Nice, would look better with the original stripes, seats look great....but I saw one over the weekend in the same colour, for £7895! I don’t know how to copy the post, but I put it in the cars for sale section on the 4th....and it went within 24 hours! The low mileage 280 overshadowed it. Another ba...

interesting it did half that mileage in the first 6 months of its life!

Great example I couldn’t look after it that well, do you think it will sell quickly?

The 8k mile Special they had recently was £19k or so less!

This 4speed looks pretty good and just under £8k!

Caught a glimpse and from what I saw, he wanted to get the interior right....did he ditch the correct strobe interior for the S,and fit the red Ghia interior, or vice versa? I’ll still watch it even if past episodes weren’t that great! Does anyone know if Fantomworks or Overhaulin ever worked on a M...

Welcome to the forum looks like a nice Capri in a great colour combo! I personally really like the pepperpots it’s part of the signature look of the 2.8i. If you really want a good alternative then I’d go for the 15in 4spoke RS style alloys, aside to the 280 style wheels already mentioned. It’s a sh...
